If ALL goes on as 1t has been mapped
out, Cation, the murderer of Mike Gull
len, will "expiate" within four months
from the time he committed the awful
crime. This is a very decided departure
in the way of doing things in this coun-
try, and it is departure which all will
commend and applaud. If it is right
to hang or shoot as Il punishment for
murder, it Is right and IN every respect
better to do it as promptly as possible.
A delay of seven years between the
commission of the crime and the pun
ishment of the criminal, has tendency
to lessen the terrors OF the law, aud TO
make the would-be killer feel that muir
der is not such dangerous business
after all. The time which should elapse
between the killings ought to be no
more than is necessary to give the killer
a fair trial, and chance to prepare for
the awful punishment. Cations speedy
execution may induce others who are
so ready with the use of the pistol. to
hesitate and reflect little before they
shoot,

TO COALVILLE.

The Salt Lake & Los Angeles Railway
now being assured, will not some CAPT
talists step to the front and:Ouild road

coal 6eIds2 There is big money in the
project, and worlds of fame and glory.
The road can have the coal trade of
this city, in spite of pools and conbina-
tons as the short haul will enable it to
defy competition. For the same reason
it can have the carrying trade of Park
City. These two items are sufficient to
pay handsome dividends on the money
it will cost to build and equip in first
class style the forty mile line. When
the Salt Lake & Los Angeles gets into
operation it will need vast quantities OF
coal for its own use, and still more for
the country through which it will run,
from end to end. As Salt Lake, Park
City and Ooalville road could supply that
coal cheaper than any other, it would
naturally be patroniEed, to the extent
of its capacity to respond. There is
not in the United States a better open
ing for a short railway than is here
indicated. If the matter were called to
the attention of capitalists, and the
facts and possibilities laid before them.
we believe they would eagerly snap up
the rich morsel.

RIGHT ABOUT FACE.

The Grand Army boys are gaining
wisdom as they grow old, and they are
learning better the objects and purposes
of their own organization. When the
Grand Army of the Republic was formed
there was no suggestion or thought of
making 1t political or religious asso-
cation; twas to be purely aud simply
q fraternaI organization of old soldiers.
I t was not contemplated that it should
be converted into a political ina-
chine, 10 be used for party purposes.

News COMES of the successful incorpo-
ration in Los Angeles of the Salt Lake
& Los Angeles Railway Company. The
people of the city named are enthusiast
tic over the project. They promptly
subscribed 5000, 900 of the capital stock,
and it is probable they will grade the
road from Los Angeles to the Nevada
state line for stock. Almost before the
people can realize what is going on,
dirt will be flying, and within little
while our ears will be delighted with
the whistle of the locomotive drawing
trains over the road which is to make
Salt Lake great.

to note the marked change in the spirit
and tendency of the association as in

Louis encampment. Some of the wide
mouthed demagogues wanted to COM
NIT the organization to an antagonistic
position towards the President of the
United States, but the wise and manly
men of the order we're in the majority
and would not permit it to be brought
into contempt. Last year the delegates
sojourned briefly in this city, where
many of them permitted themselves to
be stuffed with pork and beans, beer and
cock and bull stories about the Nor
mons, and where some of them were in
duced to believe that the G. A. r. had
been formed for the purpose Of settling
the Mormon question by settling the
Mormons. To the everlasting disgrace
of the organization, a violent anti
Mormon resolution was adopted In
the San Francisco encampment, and
two or three State posts afterwards
took the matter up and made asses of
themselves. at the encampment in st.

was made to drag the G. A. R. aside

abuse, and reported that the matter was
foreign to the purpose of the organiza-
ton. The encampment sustained the
